Review on SLS3 Men's Triathlon Shorts - Compression Tri Shorts for Men - FX Z Black Edition by Michael Patilla

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice jersey, great value

This is my third pair of SLS3 shorts. The previous ones worked well and in fact I still use the second pair. I found them on sale so grabbed them despite the reviews saying they are small. I am 160 pounds, 5ft 10 inches, waist 32 inches. I ordered medium ones and they fit well, maybe a bit tight, but it's not noticeable once the workout starts. I spent two days cycling in them and they are just as comfortable as my previous pair. The label warns against using chlorinated pools. Most days I have no choice but to swim in the pool to see how they hold up over the long term. The lining is thin and does not cause discomfort when running. There is rubber in the leg area (not on the previous SLS3 shorts I had). There is a reflective zippered key pocket but no gel fuel pockets. (my previous pair was the opposite) There is a purchase on sale. If I needed a new pair and all prices were the same I would go for the SLS3 shorts.

Pros
  • SUPERIOR FABRICS: Made from a flexible fabric blend, these men's jersey shorts stretch in ALL directions making them incredibly comfortable - you won't even feel like you're wearing them. Fits like a second skin - no more rubbing and pain!
Cons
  • Expandable
